Lotte van den Berg places a sound-proof booth on a thoroughfare in the city. One of the walls is made of glass and affords a view of a part of the bustling city. The audience sits inside and looks out.
Four actors make their way to the busy city and seek the protection of the sound-proof space. They try to relate to the sheer volume and persity of their environment. They endeavour to alleviate their impressions and thoughts.
Now and then the sounds of the city penetrate the inner space. Clicking heels, snatches of conversation, a car gathering speed before the noise is drowned by the din of the traffic. Eventually the murmuring of the city subsides and it is as if you can look through the things around you, as if you can see how you observe things, how you see what you think, or see what you want to see.
